New Orleans Saints (1-1) at Seattle Seahawks (2-0) The Seahawks are 2-0, but they’ve been far from impressive, winning those two games by a combined 3 points, despite facing a Bengals team that was demolished the following week by the 49ers and a Steelers team that lost starting quarterback Ben…

Detroit Lions (1-0-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) The Eagles are in a tough spot this week. Not only do they have to play again in 4 days on Thursday Night Football, a spot favorites tend to struggle in (55-76 ATS since 2012), but they have to play one of the…

Denver Broncos (0-2) at Green Bay Packers (2-0) The Packers have started the season 2-0, beating a pair of fellow playoff contenders in their division in the Bears and Vikings, and, perhaps most impressively, they’ve done it without getting a great performance from their offense. While their defense ranks 2nd…

Los Angeles Rams (2-0) at Cleveland Browns (1-1) I was strongly considering betting on the Browns earlier this week, but then the injuries kept piling up. All in all, the Browns are expected to be without starting safeties Damarious Randall and Morgan Burnett, right tackle Chris Hubbard, tight end David…

New York Giants (0-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1) The Buccaneers pulled the upset win in Carolina last week on Thursday Night Football, but that was more about the struggles of Cam Newton and the Panthers’ offense. Clearly playing at less than 100% through a foot injury, Newton was wildly…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings: 2019 Week 3 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (1-1) at Minnesota Vikings (1-1) This line is about right, favoring the Vikings by 9 points at home over the Raiders, but I like the Raiders a little bit because they are in a way better spot. Not only are they likely to be well rested, after starting…

Carolina Panthers (0-2) at Arizona Cardinals (0-1-1) Earlier this week, when it was starting to look like Cam Newton would miss this game with injury, I was considering putting a bet on the Panthers. The Panthers have gotten off to a disappointing 0-2 start and Newton not being 100% is…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Los Angeles Chargers: 2019 Week 3 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (1-1) at Los Angeles Chargers (1-1) This line favors the hometown Chargers by 3 points, suggesting two things: that these two teams are about equal and that the Chargers have a standard homefield advantage. I don’t think either of those are true. For one, the Chargers rarely draw…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at New England Patriots: 2019 Week 3 NFL Pick
New York Jets (0-2) at New England Patriots (2-0) This is one of two lines over 21 points this week (Dallas/Miami), after that had happened just five times in the last 30 years. The Patriots were the favorite in three of those five games, with all three instances coming during…

Miami Dolphins (0-2) at Dallas Cowboys (2-0) The Cowboys are favored by a whopping 23 points in this game. Prior to this week, there have only been 5 instances of a team being favored by 21+ points in the past 30 years. None of the previous five teams covered (they…
